History VideoGame / TheFloorIsJelly

** The "Look" command in all the house terminals.

* VideoGameSettings:
** GreenHillZone: The opening area, which interestingly has an autumn theme, has several easy rooms to help the player get accustomed to the bouncy jelly physics of the world.
** UndergroundLevel: Also serves as the HubLevel.
** BubblegloopSwamp: There's two of them, both of which features water that inexplicably ''reverses your gravity'' while submerged.
** SlippySlideyIceWorld: Which oddly enough, doesn't feature slippery ground, but does feature a special gimmick where platforms only become solid while you're touching one.
** BleakLevel: One level has a bleaker palette than the others, the music is more sombre, and features clouded-over skies while it constantly rains.
** SpaceZone: The DiscOneFinalDungeon has low gravity, and has no audio other than the ambient music [[spoiler:and the glitching noises as the level begins to deteriorate]].
** MinusWorld: [[spoiler:TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. The background here constantly glitches up, with fish swimming around in mid-air in erratic glitchy patterns, and the jelly physics themselves change to various glitchy behaviours as you make progress.]]

* WrapAround: [[spoiler:Present in the very last room before the credits]].

[[caption-width-right:256:A still image really doesn't do this game justice. This ''needs'' to be [[http://i.imgur.com/GnGqR4v.gif seen in motion to be belived]].]]

->''man has poundered some questions since the beginning of time''\\

** To get the "&@♥@@p§☺A!○◘@)(@)_—-A" achievement, along with some [[https://twitter.com/whatisian/status/457221127996059648 wacky player physics]], you have to [[spoiler:finish one of the three levels in the first set on the first time through and then ''[[ViolationOfCommonSense quit the game during a cutscene]]'' where one of the three lights appears on the big door in the HubLevel so that you [[GoodBadBugs reload with your character placed in said room out of bounds]], and then jump at a ''very'' specific corner of the screen]]. Thankfully, this isn't entirely LostForever, as there's a repeatable, but much more difficult to execute, method [[spoiler:to glitch your way out of bounds in the room]].

* LastLousyPoint: Finding all 31 houses. There's no indication if you have all of them in a given area, and to make it worse, 6 of them can end up LostForever.

* LostForever: Six of the houses can be permanently missed in the DiscOneFinalDungeon as the hidden entrances to each of their rooms they're found in [[spoiler:are blocked off in the post-glitching versions of the rooms they're located in, and the pre-glitching versions of said rooms are no longer available ever again, not even if you revisit the stage again]], leaving you to delete your save file and start over if you missed any of them and you want HundredPercentCompletion.

* MindScrew: The "Look" command in all the house terminals.

* UpdatedRerelease: The {{Steam}} version, released on May 30, 2014, features bug fixes, extra secret features, achievements, and cloud saves.

* FrogsAndToads: A couple of amphibians are present, and just like the player character, they interact with the jelly terrain.

* MissingSecret:
** Before the game's Steam release, [[WordOfGod Ian Snyder]] on his Twitter account mentioned "[[https://twitter.com/whatisian/status/457221127996059648 [removing] all the artificially imposed restraints on player momentum in TFIJ]]" and that he would [[https://twitter.com/whatisian/status/457221359089614848 hide it somewhere]], but nobody has ever found this hidden mode.
** The Steam version also has an achievement that is outright impossible to achieve (titled as "&@♥@@p§☺A!○◘@)(@)_—-A").

* EasterEgg: If you're in a house with a clock inside it, it will chime at every quarter hour, according to the computer's clock. Furthermore, each time you enter a secret room with a house, if the house generates a clock, it matches the computer's clock at the time you entered the room, but the house's clock does not update overtime.

* GuideDangIt: Some of the locations of the secret rooms houses are found in qualify. One especially cruel location [[spoiler:is in the night area where an entrance to one of the secret rooms is ''hidden offscreen''.]]

** All of the terminals have the same [[http://www.extrahype.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/fjords2.jpg header lines]] as the terminals in ''FJORDS'', a game which Ian has stated that he's fond of.

** One of the achievements in the Steam version requires you to beat the game under 30 minutes.

** The HundredPercentCompletion reward only works if you have located exactly 30 houses. If you locate the last one, it gets locked again.

* HundredPercentCompletion: Finding 30 secret houses, or rather, the terminals inside them, unlocks the SET command on them that couldn't be accessed previously [[note]]there are actually 31 terminals, but if the last one is found the reward is locked again[[/note]]. This command lets you [[spoiler:change how the jelly physics behave by changing the DECAY, POWER and TRANSFER values, similar to the glitchy jelly physics from TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. This does not, however, carry over when returning to the HubLevel, and the new values are not saved either, preventing you from potentially screwing up your save file]].

* LastLousyPoint: Finding all 31 houses. There's no indication if you have all of them in a given area.

* [[spoiler:TimeStandsStill: The glitching in TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon eventually freezes the physics engine and fish entirely, and even perpetually stalls the background music as well. This is the ''only time in the entire game'' the platforms become fully solid and not bouncy.]]

** [[spoiler:MinusWorld: TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. The background here constantly glitches up, with fish swimming around in mid-air in erratic glitchy patterns, and the jelly physics themselves change to various glitchy behaviours as you make progress.]]

The game is available for purchase from the [[https://www.humblebundle.com/store Humble Store]].

* {{Speedrun}}: One has now cropped up, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoYYI8zK-14 beating the game in a little over 22 minutes]].

** In TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon, if you backtrack through a window at one point, you'll ''endlessly fall into a BottomlessPit over and over again'' upon re-entering the previous room. It ''is'' possible to escape, but doing so is practically [[LuckBasedMission luck based]] due to [[spoiler:the glitchy jelly physics]].

* GoodBadBugs:
** With some brute forcing and a little bit of luck, it's possible to jump through a wall to the other side, especially if it's very thin.
** [[spoiler:The final stage intentionally invokes these thanks to the various glitchy jelly physics.]]

* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The game began with several blobs of gelatin swirling around before coming together to form the world, while at the end of the game, you end up in an area resembling the first level before the world starts dissolving away in a similar fashion, starting with the flora before the platforms themselves.]]

* LevelAte: Surprisingly ''{{averted|trope}}'', despite the game's title and premise. While the entire world is bouncy and jiggly just like jelly, none of the levels are actually food themed.

* LastLousyPoint: Finding all 31 houses. There is ''no'' indication if you have all of them in a given area, and there's currently ''no'' guides avaliable either. This can be especially nasty since...

* EasterEgg: If you're in a house with a clock inside it, it will chime when it hits the hour according to the computer's clock. Furthermore, each time you enter a secret room with a house, if the house generates a clock, it matches the computer's clock at the time you entered the room, but the house's clock does not update overtime.

* HundredPercentCompletion: Finding 30 secret houses, or rather, the terminals inside them, unlocks the SET command on their terminals that couldn't be accessed previously [[note]]there are actually 31 terminals, but if the last one is found the reward is locked again[[/note]]. This command lets you [[spoiler:change how the jelly physics behave by changing the DECAY, POWER and TRANSFER values, similar to the glitchy jelly physics from TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. This does not, however, carry over when returning to the HubLevel, and the new values are not saved either, preventing you from potentially screwing up your save file]].

** The elevators that link the areas to the HubLevel seems to resemble the [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]].

* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Houses are built on stilts, and violently bounce about back and forth when the ground underneath them shifts.

* HundredPercentCompletion: Finding 30 houses unlocks the SET command on their terminals that couldn't be accessed previously [[note]]there are actually 31 houses, but if the last one is found the reward is locked again[[/note]]. This command lets you [[spoiler:change how the jelly physics behave by changing the DECAY, POWER and TRANSFER values, similar to the glitchy jelly physics from TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. This does not, however, carry over when returning to the HubLevel, and the new values are not saved either, preventing you from potentially screwing up your save file]].

* ShoutOut: The [[LiveItem living keys]] have large flowing "scarves" similar to those seen in ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}''.
